So this line should not be inside a directive block. The module documentation says that Apache::Registry evals the BEGIN {} blocks only once and evals the END {} blocks every time the Apache::Registry handler is called. I originally determined this by observation- it may also be documented. Apache::ChildExit::Postpone() moves the END {} blocks from an internal perl stack to a vector private to Apache::ChildExit. The handler then executes those blocks when the process is terminated. Thus, the Postpone() method is specifically intended for Apache::Registry. If other handlers do a better job alternating BEGIN {} blocks with END {} blocks, those handlers should never encounter the Postpone() method. If the Postpone() method is used correctly this way, the Apache::ChildExit handler should be compatible with all your other configured handlers. BerkeleyDB handles are typically closed in an END {} tag. But in Apache::Registry, these handles are still available to subsequent handler calls. Because the BerkeleyDB close() command performs cache flushing and similar housekeeping, subsequent operations on a db handle don't flush correctly, which ultimately leads to file corruption.
